Perhaps if the ceo wasn't making like 200m a year, it would show some profits

Not to be that guy, but I think he makes 300k and was given 193m in stock options last year based on some whack evaluation.

Still an utterly insane number, hope they get crushed on the public market

He paid himself 193 mil because he knows its not going to be worth more than 1.93 mil after the IPO.

Hollywood accounting tactics probably aswell
